So there was this guy... Part 2

To summarize my earlier post ( http://www.mibba.com/Blogs/Read/505814/So-there-was-this-guy-Part-1/ )There was this foreign exchange student last year, we'll call him C.

Day 3, 4, & 5 - Work, work work!

Because I didn't provide an update on my progress the last two days due to lack of internet access, I will do so now!Day 3:On the 3rd day of my 30 day writing adventure, I created a thorough outline. This included a summary of the beginning, middle, and end. The end summary was a little iffy, but I know that as I write, it'll solidify as I get to know my characters and the story a little more!Day...
